About

Sardonyx is an online solution to transform how high school students and teachers use technology to manage workloads. Sardonyx offers a cross-platfrom experience for all its users, through its mobile and web platforms. This repository contains code for Sardonyx's web application, targeted for computers and tablets.

The web application offers a group tasklist accessible by both teachers and students. Students and teachers benefit from the transparency of the workload, organized by due dates, subjects, and task categories. Each task on the list can be given a detailed description.

sardonyx-server's Issues

Cannot imitate checked/unchecked Learning Outcomes when sending a reflection to Managebac

Description

Upon creating or editing a CAS reflection, the user should have the ability to check or uncheck learning outcomes as demonstrated in the reflection. The form is sent by the browser as a string representing an array of Learning Outcome ids.

...
evidence[type]: 'JournalEvidence'
evidence[body]: 'This is the body of the reflection.'
evidence[educational_outcome_ids][]: '[0, 12345]' 
...

When the request is replicated on the Request Client, it receives a 404 response. The request succeeds if the evidence[educational_outcome_ids[]] property is omitted.

Currently, the request defaults to unchecked Learning Outcomes for all requests.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a proper request involving this issue. (POST /api/cas/:casId/reflections or PATCH /api/cas/:casId/reflections/:reflectionId)
2. Comment and uncomment the property in the methods craftNewReflection and craftReflection in helpers/managebac.js to see the issue.

Fix

A fix for this issue is being investigated.
